NEW microFAST OS - Volatile Organic Solvent Introduction System for ICP

The microFAST OS is a low-flow sample introduction system designed to improve the analysis of metals in micro-volume samples and volatile organic solvents by ICPOES. Fully-automated and software controlled, metals are reliably analyzed in low-to sub-ppb concentrations of undiluted solvents such as hexane, octane, benzene, toluene, gasoline, naphtha and methylbutane.

The microFAST OS uses the syrix low-flow syringe pump to draw neat organic samples and standards into a loop on an inert injection valve. When the valve switches, the sample is carried into a PFA nebulizer by a solvent carrier stream driven by a reciprocating continuous low-flow dual syringe pump system - the ESI continuum - operating at between 5 and 40 microliters per minute. At such low flow rates, essentially 100% of the sample enters the ICP injector, minimizing elemental speciation effects.

The microFAST OS system provides many benefits, including:

• Eliminates Peristaltic Pump Tubing

• Stable Analysis of Neat Organic Solvents

• Single Calibration Curve for All Solvents

• Minimal Speciation Effects

• Elimination of Spray Chamber Waste
